Look at Double-Take. We are getting ready to do the same thing in geographically separate sites.

The idea would be two separate mail servers, one being a backup of the other. Mail coming into server 1 would also get stored on server 2. Both machines would be online all the time and maybe a replication process would run every 15 minutes that would synchronize the two. In the event server 1 crashed, server2 would take over until server 1 could be fixed and got back on line. From what I have read I don't think this functionality is built into Exchange I think I would need a third party product. Does any one have any experience with such a set up.
